CoolSculpting treatment areas
Some areas simply cannot be improved with a healthy diet or regular exercise. People often get frustrated when they feel their hard work is going to waste. If you have problem spots, you can turn to nonsurgical solutions, such as CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis to freeze fat before the body naturally passes it. Candidates for CoolSculpting are near their ideal body weight and need help targeting the following areas:
-
Thighs
-
Stomach
-
Hips and flanks
-
Knees
-
Back
-
Upper arms
-
Under the chin
How CoolSculpting treatment works
When you arrive for your appointment, Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery will clean and mark the areas for treatment. We then apply the applicator, which creates a gentle suction and cooling sensation on the skin. Most people can tolerate the process and spend their sessions relaxing with their phones. Your appointment takes about an hour, based on the size of the areas being treated. Keep in mind that some patients need more than one session to get optimal CoolSculpting results.
Common CoolSculpting side effects
CoolSculpting is well-known because it is noninvasive in nature. This means fat removal can be performed without sedation or surgery. However, patients should know that any cosmetic procedure does come with side effects, even if they are temporary and minimal. At Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery, Dr. Rao can explain what kind of CoolSculpting side effects to expect following treatment, including slight:
-
Swelling
-
Redness
-
Tingling
-
Itching
-
Bruising
Maintaining your CoolSculpting results
CoolSculpting results can be seen in the weeks following treatments. Patients are excited to gain newer, slimmer contours in just a short amount of time. In the meantime, there are guidelines patients can follow to maximize their outcomes. This includes eating healthy and drinking water to help your body flush out excess waste. Remember to continue your exercise regimen once you have been cleared by Dr. Rao. A second session can be scheduled after the initial treatment if we believe it is necessary for better results.
